LOW-SATURATE FRYING FAT AND METHOD OF FRYING FOOD

A frying fat exhibiting a reduced concentration of saturates is disclosed. Said low-saturate frying fat is particularly useful in confectionary applications and is comprised of about 40% to about 80% intermediate-melting fat, and about 20% to about 60% unhydrogenated or partially-hydrogenated base o...

Zusammenfassung:A frying fat exhibiting a reduced concentration of saturates is disclosed. Said low-saturate frying fat is particularly useful in confectionary applications and is comprised of about 40% to about 80% intermediate-melting fat, and about 20% to about 60% unhydrogenated or partially-hydrogenated base oil. If desired, said frying fat may also contain less than about 7% fully- or substantially-hydrogenated hardstock having an iodine value of about 20 or less. Said intermediate-melting fat comprises from about 14% to about 35% C12-C18 saturated fatty acids; at least about 40% trans-isomers of unsaturated fatty acids (by percentage of total fat); at least about 46% of all double bonds in the trans-configuration; at least about 40% solids (SFC) at 21.1 DEG C. (70 DEG F.); and has an iodine value of about 55 to about 75. Said base oil comprises no more than about 11% C12-C18 saturated fatty acids and has an iodine value of about 75 or more.
